Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	true if sticky splitters are enabled; otherwise, false.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

When you drag a sticky splitter at runtime, it automatically snaps to another splitter’s level when in close proximity. This behavior allows end-users to easily align multiple splitters in a single line. The animation below illustrates this feature.

Note that such behavior is noticeable only when the TabbedView is in Free Layout mode, since in default orientation-based layout mode, all splitters are parallel and cannot be aligned in a line. See the Tabbed View article to learn more.
